The Best Organic Clothing Brands

April 2, 2024

This guide will help you navigate the best organic clothing brands available if you are shopping for some healthier pieces for your wardrobe. When it comes to organic living, it takes time to swap out all the different areas of your life. I don’t believe that an all or nothing approach is required to be successful and sometimes its about harm reduction versus complete purity. Clothing is something that could make a major impact on your health, because similarly to something like laundry detergent or deodorant, you wear it against your body every day.

Health Benefits of Beef Liver & Organ Meats

January 12, 2024

You may have noticed the increase of chatter surrounding the health benefits of beef liver and other organ meats. The topic is trendy, the act itself is ancestral. It certainly can look like a trend when a topic gets a big wave of support throughout the wellness community. In some ways, sure, it’s “trendy” to discuss the nose to tail style of consuming animal meats. But, in actuality, consuming organ meats along with muscle meats is a traditional and ancestral way of eating. We have lost a lot of nutrient density to our diets by eliminating the nose to tail traditional way of eating. With the rise of chronic illness, it can be important to pay attention to what our ancestors did or didn’t do. They led healthier lives with less chronic disease.

Eating the whole animal can feel intimidating. But if we only consume muscle meat, we leave behind a plethora of nutrient density that is missing from modern day diets.

9 Most Effective Natural Remedies for a Lingering Cough

January 1, 2024

During this time of year, we are all scrambling to grab the best Natural Cough Remedies. This post will help break down what you need to know when treating an upper respiratory illness. When addressing a cough, it’s important to understand why we develop them in the first place. Coughing is a helpful action by the body. When you become sick, viral or bacterial particles enter the body, and as all things on earth, their goal is to survive. Your body creates a range of different counter reactions to fight off these germs. One way is by producing phlegm and using it to encapsulate germs. Once the body has germs trapped within the mucous it has created, it will try to move this phlegm out of the body. The quickest and most effective way to remove this substance is by way of coughing. That is why when it comes to an acute upper respiratory condition, it’s important to focus on supporting the cough to remove phlegm rather than suppress it. Over the counter cough suppressants are popular because coughs are inconvenient and uncomfortable. However, suppressing the body’s healing actions can extend the life span of your illness. There is a time and place for suppressants as coughs can come to a point of being unbearable. However, this trend towards medicating every single minor discomfort comes with a cost. If we learn to support our body’s natural abilities in eliminating illness, we are more likely to get ahead of it. If we can get ahead of the germs by eliminating them more effectively, we may eliminate the need for suppression. The body knows what to do, and although there are always exceptions to the rule, understanding its mechanisms makes dealing with sickness so much easier.
